FEATURED CASES

LOS ANGELES JURY AWARDS LIVING CANCER VICTIM
$9.2 MILLION, INCLUDING $6 MILLION IN PUNITIVE DAMAGES

Plaintiff, a hardworking 59-year-old career plumber, husband, father and grandfather, was exposed to defendant Union Carbide Corporation’s asbestos when he worked on various construction projects in the Los Angeles, California area during the 1970s.

Plaintiff and his wife were devastated in December 2007 when they learned that he suffered from mesothelioma, a fatal cancer only caused by asbestos exposure, and doctors told him he had but a very short time to live.

After a 5-week trial, the jury of 7 men and 5 women awarded $9,200,000, including $6,000,000 in punitive damages. According to Plaintiff’s counsel Carolin Shining, “Mr. Johnson was wonderful in coming down the night before to prepare with us on the punitive damages phase. The judge only gave us a day to prepare for the punitive damages phase. Mr. Johnson went the extra mile in helping us prepare.”
